Diadra Empty's bosses surely make you scream HOLY CRAP every time they start spewing bullets. The sheer difference in size and scale also helps. And that sensation only goes up until you reach Extra Level Chapters 4 and 5. You usually need a jaw reconstruction after that.

Cubia, .hack//Quarantine (aka Vol.4).

Spoiler:
Pretty much the entirety of Hellsinker final bosses are made of WTF and Holy Crap but the "Karma Compressor System named 'Garland'"+Lost Property 771 and the Quadruple Ones take the cake. So awesome it breaks the game interface in a Suika fashion.

hahaha I just did my first playthrough of Diadra Empty

my jaw dropped on chapter 8 each time there was another boss form because I already wasted all my Continues and had only 1 life bar left

I remember that moment! First I was wondering if the story was finally over...then Cubia shows up with next to no explination except "The World will be destroyed if you don't kick its ass."

Yeah, Cubia was a pain in the axe. It didn't help that I was expecting Tarvos at the time, either.

Of course, now that I'm ON Tarvos, I hate the impaled serpent very, very much. Immunity-swapping, Nice Boat-load of hits required to Data Drain, and on top of that . . . 1HKO. It has a 1HKO cinematic.

Also, not quite a boss and not NEARLY the same game . . . my first time fighting Zappa in GGXX (arcade).

I was completely unprepared for Raou to pop up out of nowhere and start OWNING ME TO DEATH. Now I know to kill him with speed, but that first time is definitely disconcerting.

The one final boss that made the strongest impression on me? Rimsala from Arcana. Because I played that when it was new, and Rimsala was frickin' impressive graphically back then. Not to mention she made interesting use of the game's whole card motif, which was cool as hell.

Also: The first time I met Utsuho's final spellcard lead to quite a good deal of panicking. As well as Yuyuko's. Because when first beat Yuyuko's penultimate spellcard, it thought it was over. I exhaled, then tried to read the text. Then BAM! and I died moments later.

Colossus in Etrian Oddysey 2. Still haven't beaten it.

Lavos. Specifically, the cutscene if you lose. High octane nightmare fuel.

Touhou related: I literally screamed when I saw Superhuman "Byakuren Hijiri" for the first time. I wasn't expecting a boss to move that fast. Also VoWG and Subterranean Cucumber, which looks near impossible.

The Hydra from God of War 1. Having not heard of the game before, I asked the guy playing if it was the final boss (it's the first boss).

Atolm's last form in Panzer Dragoon Saga. A dragon with 10 built in laser cannons.

Awakened Alma from Ninja Gaiden.

Ganon from Ocarina of Time. And Majora's Mask from Majora's Mask.

Pasternak from Ace Combat 6 (though he's not really a boss).

Kanako. And Yuyuko.

Daioujou's Hibachi at high rank. Never have I been so impressed with a boss being so ridiculously difficult while remaining fair.

Any of the World Eaters of Soul Nomad, although Raksha had the most effect, especially leading up to his revival...lost my shit during the fight and suffered lasting effects in my main fighting Squad AFTER the fight.

Then came the final boss...and the fight itself. Seriously, Drazil was a total mindfuck of a world.

Fluffy Rocket Tails · « **Reply #103 on:** July 05, 2010, 08:42:25 AM »

This isn't exactly the same but Blizzetta from Twilight Princess.
She comes out of nowhere with her, "NOT TAKE MIRROR!" and her face... and then she starts dropping enormous blocks of ice on you.
It wasn't a hard fight, just entirely unexpected, she seemed like such a friendly creepy, armless, fluffy, snow-thing.

Super Dimentio is a CHAOS CLOWN DARK ROBOT LUIGI HEAD IN A TUTU
Seymour Omnis had ELEMENTAL RINGS OF FIREY DEATH
Yiazmat has 50,000,000 HP. I took down forty million of which before he became A PAIN.
Tabuu is a WINGED RAINBOW VIRTUAL LASER EYED DEEEEMON
Galacta Knight was bad ass
Marx Soul had so many powerful attacks and had 640 HP (Thats a lot for a Kirby game)
Metroid Prime was an enormous spider. That turned into an enormous tentacle head.
Bowser X RENDS THE UNIVERSE ASUNDER (I mean come on. I'm level 43.)
Princess Shroob and the Elder Princess Shroob, in all incarnations, had a total of OVER 10,000 HEALTH
Cackletta. That is all.
Murasa had me HOLY CRAP if only for ANCHOR SMASHING
Ex-Chen, because SHE'S ACTUALLY A THREAT NOW OH GOD
I didn't expect Kogasa to be an EX-Midboss. Surprise indeed.
And then there's Utsuho. Just... Utsuho.
KH!Sephiroth was undoubtedly the most difficult thing I've ever had to do in an Action RPG.
And it was awesome.

Last Boss from Raystorm.

I'd probably have an easier time against it by now, but back then that boss fight was just epic. Even managed to beat the 13-ship Mode in Extra, which at the time was something really difficult for me (and it gives you an extra bit of story after the credits).

The last series of bosses from Ninja Gaiden III (NES) was a bit shocking, but mostly because I'd be like "Oh wait, ANOTHER boss?!" after the second battle (IIRC).

Also... This. That boss isn't difficult, but... It's just... Creepy...

Phlegeth · « **Reply #106 on:** July 06, 2010, 03:40:28 AM »

Meganada from DDS2. It has a form where it's immune to all magic and another form where it's immune to all physical and it has a couple of big ass attacks that take a turn to charge and then fire. And when you get him in the red he starts switching between forms and using the attacks in rapid succession. I hate hate hate hate hate him!

Majora's Mask...

Every boss. That game was beautiful. Intense. Crazy difficulty. (Not so difficult for me IMO) Yet, I enjoyed every single bit of it.

You guys get the "HOLY CRAP" from the bosses in your games, I get the "HOLY CRAP" factor from everything in this game... I cried manly tears upon completion because when you replay a game, even if 20 times, it is not as good as the first time.

Also, Culex from Super Mario RPG. What the hell was th--- *party dead*
I eventually beat it.

Necrobump, eh?

Zodiark keeps putting up those damn palings that prevent it from being damaged physically or magically.

Chaos attacks absurdly quickly.

Yep, that's Exodus. Zodiark's in the Henne Mines.

Oh yeah, Seymour Flux's Total Annihilation attack was annoying.

Why does everyone find that boss hard? Protect, Shell, Haste, Holy Waters, 5x Cheer and the battle is over.

Thought it was more annoying than hard.
It killed Wakka, and took Tidus down to 300/2700 and Auron down to 15/4600.
Every single time.
Tidus is a better tank than Auron sometimes

And what do you mean, Cheer stacks?

(I never went into The Henne Mines II. Murderous enemies. I'm Lv. 62 and almost killed Yiazmat though)

Bananamatic · « **Reply #116 on:** July 07, 2010, 11:54:32 PM »

Cheer stacks up to 5 times and it can bypass the 255 cap.
also Total Annihilation hits random targets with the rockets, defence and magic defence are almost irrelevant as most stuff does too much damage

Blitzer · « **Reply #117 on:** July 08, 2010, 01:04:00 AM »

I beat that battle by getting everyone's Overdrive gauges up to maximum, then spammed them.

@MisterSanity: There's a glitch that lets you make enemies disappear without fighting them.

チソウ タイゼン · « **Reply #118 on:** July 08, 2010, 08:22:49 AM »

The Immobilize thing, yes?
Yes, I know. I've never bothered myself to pull it off though.

I beat that battle because Auron nukes enemies hard
Turns out the battle formula has "strength cubed" in it. Kimahri's 35 strength does 800 damage while Auron's 59 Strength deals >6,000.
